It condemned the aged practice of some officials who punish protesting government employees by forcing them to quit public service and to leave their housing provisions.
CTUM is monitoring the government workers participating in the current protest against the newly established military rule.
The union also said that it will provide free medical services to those who suffered from fear and serious trauma because of the actions of some unscrupulous officials, who allegedly misused their authorities, reported Myanmar Times.
